I disagree with the notion that alcohol consumption uninhibits people to speak and behave truthfully. my personal experience with alcohol is that it throroughly and intensely distorts reality and compels people to say and do things that they would otherwise not say or do. If a person is by nature gentle, sensitive, considerate, as an example, his or her insensitive, aggressive, and inconsiderate behaviors while under the influence of alcohol do not accurately define him or her. Just food for thought.
